Corinthians train with trio, doubts linger before Santos clash | OneFootball

On Monday morning, Corinthians held another training session at the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center with an eye on the derby against Santos, for the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship. The press followed the first part of the activity.

The squad started the day with a warm-up, followed by a passing drill. Midfielders Rodrigo Garro, André Carrillo, and Charles took part in the field work, but are still doubtful. They remain in the physical transition phase and have been doing partial work with the group.

Center-back André Ramalho, in turn, stayed in the indoor area for a physical activity. According to the club, he is recovering from a thigh strain and will go to the pitch for the second part of training.

Absences at the CT

Forward Memphis Depay was not at the CT. The Dutchman arrives in Brazil on Monday night after representing his national team during the FIFA window and will be assessed before the derby.

Another absence was midfielder José Martínez, who has not reported back since last Wednesday, citing personal issues, and is out of the match against Santos.

Confirmed absences

Corinthians has five confirmed absences for the clash at Vila Belmiro. Suspended, Hugo Souza and Matheus Bidu are out, as is Vitinho, injured. Call-ups Romero and Félix Torres will not return in time and are also out.

It is worth remembering that coach Dorival Júnior is serving the second match of his suspension and will not be in charge of the team. Thus, the person on the touchline will again be the assistant and the coach’s son, Lucas Silvestre.
